Here are a few of my pictures from the main event, the rest, and there arn't that many, can be found on my website http://www.julianhunt.net

It was pretty tough getting a decent shot from the banking this time, there were a lot of people out there on Saturday and they all seemed to stand up with chlidren on their shoulders as soon as they saw me pick my camera up :-)

Enough excuses....

Great pics as usual, well done. I know what you mean about saturday having hurt our motor on Friday had the day spectating on the bank it was packed out. Didn't help calm the nerves when i went on nitro fm to propose to my intended, she said yes so the team did have a little party on sat night even though we was hoping for a double reason of finally getting into the 8's

We loved it, in fact, my buddy didn't stop talking about it, I rekon he must have mentioned it about 10 times on the way home, it was definately his car of the meeting! Here are a couple more pictures of it from my website...

wow, its awesome to hear opinions like that.
shame we were plagued by our fair share of problems...rad popped after burn out of 2nd run on fri, and only got one run in on sat.

Somehow ended up racing monday but it didnt run well at all

best was a 10.2.....not bad for a pick up that is as aerodynamic as a brick!

It was the the first time we used the front with headlights and it was a little lower than the old one but not lower than the minimum of 3 inches and after the 5.96 run we changed back to the old front to be sure that we didn´t triggered the beams with our rear tires again.

The terrible light couldn't keep a great truck down. Lovely looker....




And so as not to disappoint Krister in this section, here's a nice picture of the Lindahl Camaro from Saturday sans headlights....

If they'd have kept this up through the lights on that run, wouldn't have mattered which front bodywork they'd have worn!

Oops! We tried some chassi adjustment on that run but the car went a little crazy as you can see on the last pic. 6.33 with pedaling.
